This page only deals with the ieee80211 version of the r8187 driver. For the mac80211 rtl8187 version see the rtl8187 page. To understand the differences, see mac80211 versus ieee80211 stacks write-up.

IMPORTANTIf you have a new kernel that support mac80211 and includes the new rtl8187 driver then you MUST blacklist it otherwise the ieee80211 version of the module below will not work. See blacklisting mac80211 driver version below.
Solution:You sometimes get this message when another driver, which also creates an wlanX interface is loaded before the r8187 driver. Examples: acx111, hostap and all mac80211 drivers. In such a case the rtl8187 device will be wlan1 or wlan2. Look at iwconfig to see if there is such an interface and use that one instead.
On recent kernels, the patched driver fails to work in normal WPA/WPA2 mode. In this case, use the patched ieee80211 driver for injection and use the mac80211 version for normal WPA/WPA2. In order to do this you will have to blacklist the unwanted module based what you plan to use your system for. IE For injection, blacklist the rtl8187 module. For WPA/WPA2, blacklist the r8187 module.
